Tony Ross and Lawrence Whitsette, of Gold Hill, who recently leased the Reynolds copper mine, six miles west of Waldo, are making progress in de velopment work and expect soon to be shippers. Withycombe Cottage is the name which the Board of Control has given to the new $25,000 woman's dormitory at the State school for the feeble minded. The new cottage was accept ed by the board Tuesday. The State Land Board has granted to parties represented by Samuel Con nell, of the Sam Connell Lumber com pany, of Portland, the right to make tests of the waters in Summer and Abert lakes, in Lake county, to deter mine the extent of the soda deposits in such lakes. Captain C. E. MacFarlane, repre senting Colonel Disque, is on Coos Bay consulting with millmen, logging operators and owners of timber on the peninsula, with a view to opening sev eral new camps in the spruce district, that the program for aeroplane stock may be increased heavily. The warm, wet weather of the past month has been a boon to the stock men of Umatilla county. In the hills where, during the last few weeks of fall, the range was dry as tinder, the grass is now green and succulent and the stock is making up for the lean months of late summer. 'No one need fear to put in any kind of a farm crop, as the govern ment will see that the farm labor sit uation is taken care of," declared State Labor Commissioner Hoff, and he is advising some inquirers who have written in as to the possibility of the farm labor situation during the next harvest to go ahead and plant. The State Fair Board, at its annual meeting Tuesday night reached a defi nite conclusion to construct a coliseum at the State Fair grounds the coming summer, and instructed an architect to prepare plans for a building which will seat 15000 persons. It will cost $22, 000. This building will be used for horse and catlle shows and judging. J. M. Peters, superintendent of the Clatskanie River hatchery, says the 5,000,000 young Chinook salmon now in the ponds are in excellent condition. The warm rains of the present winter period seem to agree with the salmon fry and an exceptional output will be the result this season. About 2,000, 000 of the fry will be liberated in June and the rest in August. The quarterly report of State En gineer Lewis, completed Wednesday, shows that 109 permits to appropriate water and 10 permits to construct reservoirs were issued during the quar ter. These permits include for the irrigation of land amounting to 10,639 acres and water supply for three mu nicipalities, the estimated cost of con struction amounting to $294,887. Lane county fruitgrowes are apply ing scientific grafting of trees to make up for a shortage of bees for the pol lination of cherries and pears, accord ing to C. E. Stewart, county fruit in spector., Waterhouse cherries are be ing grafted into Lamberts, Bings and Royal Anns, as these three varieties are self-sterile, and Fall Butter pears are being grafted into Bartlett trees, also self -sterile. Hair-pulling rather than a suit in court settled an alleged case of aliena tion of affections at Albany Friday, The affair got into the Police court, however, as an assault case. When Mrs. Charles Simpson met Mrs. W. O. Wimmer on the street the former ac cused the latter of alienating her hus band's affections. The charge was de nied and a fistic encounter ensued. The Lincoln County court has cre ated the office of county agricultural agent for Lincoln county. The amount of $1600 was appropriated for the current year. O. M. Plummer, of Portland, appeared before the board and made a plea for the appropriation, from the standpoint of food conserva tion and as a special representative of the department of Agriculture, at Washington. State Labor Commissioner Hoff has inaugurated the campaign for obtain' ing exact data on farm help and crop conditions for 1918 throughout the state, by sending out letters to all granges and farmers' unions in Oregon outlining the plan to be adopted. He also designated the first week in Feb' ruary as the period for concentrated effort to get information from the farmers to be sent to the Labor de partment for compilation. Money supposed to belong to E. J. Frasier, who left Eugene recently after being convicted on a charge of forgery, was found on Gearhart Beach Tuesday afternoon. The money is now in possession of City Marshal Ober, of Gearhart, and the authorities at fc.u- gene have been notified. It js thought Frasier became demented and com mitted suicide. A man bearing his description was seen in Gearhart. A large delegation of residents of the Elmira district arrived in Eugene Saturday to urge the building of the Eugene-tc-Florence link of the Central Oregon Highway by the most direct route, regardless of the communities served. Coquille sawmill concerns whose men joined the Loyal Legion of Log- 'gers and Lumberworkers have gone the government one better and have instituted local branches of the order, which are to hold regular meetings and discuss the requirements and current topics connected with their work. STATE IF BACK HURTS USE SALTS FOR KIDNEYS Eat less meat if Kidneys feel like lead or Bladder bothers. Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels, get sluggish and clog ged and need a flushing occasionally, else we have backache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders. You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good drug store here, take a tablespoonful In a glass of wa ter before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and Is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neu tralizes the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts is harmless; Inexpensive; makes a delightful effervescent llthia water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kid neys clean, thus avoiding serious com plications. A well-known local druggist says he sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who be lieve in overcoming kidney trouble while it Is only trouble. Adv. Author No Asset. At a local bazaar they were offering autographed copies of books by In dianapolis authors. "Here is a very delightful book, suit able for a gift, and autographed by the author. Only a dollar and a half," said the smiling manager of the booth. A dollar and a half I" gasped the prospective purchaser, a little woman who held her tempted purse close to her breast. "Yes, a dollar and a half. The au tograph, you know,- has an especial value." Why, I can get a copy of that book at a downtown store for a dol lar." "Yes, I know you can, but not au tographed by the author." The prospective purchaser's face suddenly took on a look of nigh wis dom and then she blurted : Oh, well, I know who wrote It, any how." Indianapolis News. Men Should Skip This. A little girl wrote the following composition on men: Men are what women marry. They drink and smoke and swear,, but don't go to church.

Says Corns Lift Out Without Any Pain You reckless men and women who are pestered w'th corns and who have at least once a week Invited an awful death from lockjaw- or blood poison are now told by a Cincinnati authority to use a drug called freezone, which the moment a few drops are applied to any corn or callous the soreness Is relieved and soon the entire corn or callous, root and all, lifts off with the fingers. Freezone dries the moment it is ap plied, and simply shrivels the corn or callous without inflaming or even ir ritating the surrounding tissue or Bkin. A small bottle of freezone will cost very little at any of the drug stores, but will positively rid one's feet of every hard or soft corn or hardened callous. If your druggist hasn't any freezone he can get it at any. wholesale drug house for you. Adv. A BAD COUGH Is risky to neglect. Take It la hand, and safeguard your health by promptly taking PASO'S MUST STIMULATE ALL CROPS State College to Work Out Program for Bigger Yields. Washington's contribution to the war cause will be intensive stimulation of crop production. At a conference in Spokane last week of E. O. Holland, president of Washington State Col lege; E. F. Benson, of the state de partment of agriculture, and Charles Hebberd, chairman of the food supply and conservation committee of the State Council of Defense, it was de cided that the state college work out a program at once for greater food pro duction. "Winter wheat sowing in the state was only 15 to 25 per cent of normal," said Mr. Hebberd. "We must depend upon spring sowing to increase the wheat crop. The situation as it ex ists now is grave." Definite plans will be formulated at a meeting in Spokane January 25. Stops Sale of Bread in Quantity Lots. The sale of bread in quantity lots by bakers and retail merchants has been forbidden by Charles Hebberd, food administrator for Washington. The ruling is effective at once and applies to bread dealers whether licensed or not. The food administration for Wash ington rules that the sale of bread in quantity lots three loaves for 25 cents is a wasteful practice an encourages over-consumption and the leaving of stale bread on hand in families, says the instructions sent to bakers and re tailers by Mr. Hebberd. "You are notified that effective at once, quantity prices are to be discontinued. In fu ture you will make loaf price only." The distributors have been notified that they may make the price either eight or nine cents each, but must not make the price dependent upon the number of loaves sold. Apple Gifts Appreciated. Hood River The members of the canteen committee of the Hood River Red Cross chapter are receiving numerous expressons of appreciation ii letters from soldiers for apples dis tributed to all troop trains passing through here. Mrs. L. M. Bentley, t member of the committee, has just re ceived a letter of appreciation from Mrs. Earl W. Reed, of Seattle, wife of a soldier on one of these trains. Up to the present time most of the fruit distributed to troop trains has been donated by growers.

He swore, cursed his luck, Increased the white space on his face, and then then then he begun to smile. And his toe thumped like a stranded auto engine! "Why, I really am lucky," he thought.

COMB SAGE TEA IN If Mixed with Sulphur it Dark ens so Naturally Nobody can Tell. : Grandmother kept her hair beauti fully darkened, glossy and attractive with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with won derful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," you will get a large bot tle of this old-time recipe, Improved by the addition of other ingredients, all ready to use, for about 60 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell It has been ap pliedIt's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw It through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after an other application or two, It Is restored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and beautiful. This preparation is a delightful toilet requisite.
